Scientists have discovered a surprisingly cold  region high in venus atmosphere indicating Carbon dioxide 'snow' on the planet. In a new analysis based on five years of Observations using the european space agency's venus express satellite, scientists have uncovered a very chilly layer at temperatures of around - 175 c in the atmosphere 125 km above the planet's surface that maybe frigid enough for carbon dioxide to freeze out as ice or snow. 
The curious cold layer is far frostier than any part of earth's atmosphere, despite venus being much closer to the, the "Daily mail" reported.
